Chief Minister Katy Gallagher says her party would spend $2 million to help community groups develop more Men's Sheds across the city.

Ms Gallagher says $50,000 would also go to holding another Older Persons Assembly to air issues of concern.

Advanced planning

The ACT Greens have also pledged to host the assembly twice in the next four years.

The Greens would also spend $1.25 million over four years on the Advanced Care Planning program to boost the number of staff dedicated to the concept and increase community awareness.

"Advanced Care Planning is an important way to assist older people to think about future medical scenarios they may face and what type of treatment they would wish to receive in such situations," Greens spokeswoman Amanda Bresnan said.

"It also makes formal the views and decisions about their own life, so that this is clearly understood by both family and professionals."

Land bank

The Canberra Liberals would establish a land bank for aged care accommodation and retirement villages, to ensure affordable housing for seniors.

Leader of the Opposition Zed Seselja says his party's planned land bank would be reserved for retirement villages and aged care accommodation.

"This is really important forward planning because we have an ageing population in Canberra," he said.

"What we don't want to see, like we've seen in recent years, is scrambling to find places for older Canberrans to live.

"The first and foremost responsibility is that seniors have somewhere to live."

The Liberals would also bring the Office of Ageing under the Chief Minister's Department.

"The Office of Ageing would promote and support volunteering opportunities for seniors and implement flexible working hours to help older Canberrans ease into retirement," said Mr Seselja.

Mr Seselja says his party would review concessions for retirement village residents and conduct a seniors' transport study.

"We don't believe retirement village residents should miss out on water and electricity bill concessions, so a Canberra Liberals government would also task the Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission with securing a fairer deal on utilities for Canberra seniors regardless of where they live," he said.

'Promises welcome'

Executive director of Council On The Ageing (COTA) ACT Paul Flint says those promises are welcome, and provide a good range of options for voters.

He says it is good all parties have released their policies early, so that older people can consider them ahead of the election.

"The range of policies is also good," he said.

"Different parties are featuring different areas, giving a good range of options for older people."
